Dankeskirche, Neogothic church in Holtenau, Germany.

The Dankeskirche features a cross-shaped floor plan with a western tower, standing near the Nord-Ostsee Canal in Kiel-Holtenau.

Kaiser Wilhelm II contributed 63,000 Marks from his private funds for the construction of the church between 1896 and 1897.

The church's tower height was reduced from 52 to 26 meters in 1935 to accommodate the expansion of nearby flight operations.

The building belongs to the Altholstein church district within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany and maintains limited wheelchair access.

The church houses a collection of bells, including one from 1518, while some of its chandeliers are made from repurposed ship wheels.
